There are some good shots on hank's site.

If your car has the original parts, there should be holes already for you to put the screws in.

Did you get the screws, velco and rear tailight cover gaskets from Hank too?

The fronts have screw holes too. I would think you use the same screws as the back. They can be gotten at any HW store.

heheh. BTW, you STOLE that set. Cool

I had gotten another set from Hank last month so I wasn't looking to get anymore. I paid more....not as much as the price on his web site but a good chunk more than you did.

They do indeed go on the top of each lens. I would assume to lessen the metal on plastic blow from slamming the hatch.

While we're talking about tail light lens covers, I had to replace my driver side tail light lens cover about a year and a half ago and now it's all cloudy, although the original one on the passenger side is fine. Cleaning it, inside or out, doesn't fix the problem. Does anyone know of a way of restoring the plastic to its original state?

It's probably cloudy because moisture is entering. You have to find from where, before you can solve it.
